Hello Ladies,
I was wondering how you apply products because, the only method i know which is from quidad is the rake & shake.I tried it for a while until i started noticing breakage especially in the front of my hair. I have short hair from a BC about 3 months ago so caring for my hair the curly girl way is a new adventure.

I do the same as Juicy Tube and Rina. I apply it in three sections, the top of my head and two pigtails, so I don't need a comb for that. I apply products while my hair is still soaking wet, that seems to help with even distribution.

no damage when applying products sounds like a plus to me.
Do you wash/co-wash/co-rinse your hair everyday?

I rinse after exercising too so my hair usually gets wet twice a day.

I tried "smoothing" in the products(leave-in & gel) instead of raking and I'm LOVING this.
I usu wash my hair every day with conditioner just to get out that extra "gook" and just so i can rake in the products..LOL thank goodness i know better now. thanks guys

so far im on 3rd day hair and i havent had much breakage, in fact, frizz is under control too-surprisingly. I've had ZERO breakage
